Redbacks won't kill you. They'll just make you really sick and make you wish you were dead. Just take the hit and drink some concrete

Not a redback its a blackwidows look at the positioning of the hourglass its on the bottom of the tail not the top also quiet small in size

AsABiologistWhoIsNotFunAtParties
to be fair, there probably would have been no danger as long as the shoe owner wasn't barefoot putting them on.

pretty sure bugs bite through socks
AsABiologistWhoIsNotFunAtParties
pretty sure your standards for being 'pretty sure' about things are pretty low in this case.
owlest
lol you think things cant bite through socks?
AsABiologistWhoIsNotFunAtParties
Things like mosquitoes with a proboscis maybe. Perhaps some tarantulas as far as spiders go, but black widows' fangs are far too small.
CreatureFromtheBlackLegume
Also, that proud momma looks dead. Don't spiders die after laying their magnum opus?
eazay1818
Nope the mother usually eats male and carries the egg sack to a nice dark area and waits for eggs to hatch

shuttlecockinakumquat
Nah. I have them in my basement. They're really not that dangerous (although, they would be if they were in your shoe).
eazay1818
Thats a black widow they are extremely dangerous and highly venomous bites can be leathal good move on burning shoe check house for more.
shuttlecockinakumquat
Rare that they bite humans, even more rare that they inject venom when they do. If it lived when you put your foot in shoe, it might bite.
geeroboz

Redbacks and Black Widows are pretty much the same, besides where the red is. They are cousins, but ours (Aus) is more active and potent.

you're right sorry all spiders are the same species

They are pretty much the exact same spider but removed geographically millions of years ago. Red back is slightly more potent.

they're in the same genus but the species that has the red hourglass isn't the same as the redback species

Literally got a huntsman spider out of my boot this morning. Stuck my hand in there and felt him. Glad I checked..
MrDurden93
Why would you stick your hand in? Surely you'd shake it out first?
ThoroughlySimplistic
Of course. Shake, bump against the wall, then stick your hand in for good measure. Sometimes they cling in the toes.
skelekittycat
Huntsman aren't generally a problem to people though, am I right? They're just very big.
teh0khardic
I dunno, I'd consider something that makes me shit my pants a problem
ThoroughlySimplistic
They will bite if cornered, but it will just be some local swelling and a bit painful at worst. I was more concerned for his welfare.
ErasmusTycho
They may not have the venom of some of the more dangerous spiders but geez are they intimidating.
TotallyLost
^Good guy Aussie here. Look after the Huntsmans, burn redbacks, whitetips, etc.

TheSwedishMoose
Most venomous creatures are harmless when ingested as the toxins are either broken down by acid or not absorbed by the intestines. 1/2
TheSwedishMoose
2/2 That's why venomous things inject their venom directly into the tissue/blood stream. That said, you still shouldn't fucking do it.

It's a Red Back (if in Aus) I know several ppl who have been bitten by these, it's not too serious but u should still go get help

But You could be right if in America, they look bloody similar

Not terribly. My parents have a wood pile though and sometimes redbacks like to hide there, and very occasionally a white tail in the house.

I dont remember being taught but yeah when I find a redback I show my kids, also to check clothes on the floor and the bed for whitetails.
Clevererusernameiscleverer
I still have nightmares about white tails and I've not lived in straya for 4 years.
Manieman
Funnelwebs are hard to see too
YungJesus
Are whitetails actually that bad? how deadly are they?
MrTroysWildRide
My uncle was bitten once. Their venom isn't too dangerous but the bites are prone to infection. Said his hand looked like chewed up bacon.
MVPenis
Not deadly, the bacteria can create large open infectious wounds that spread around the bite and it eats the flesh... Search some images
WhoScalesTheScale
Not deadly at all. Not poisonous. They pick up bacteria on their fangs from crawling around which often ends in Necrosis big time.
AlexxStratten
In the south of the US you had better shake out your shoes or boots before you put them on. Lots of things like to climb into them.

This is why I'm glad I live here. We do stuff like putting our shoes on without thinking. I'd never survive in the south.

the spider shown is an american black widow, the red hourglass is on its BELLY not its back. but redbacks and widows are closely related.

it is not SUPER common, but widows make nests in dark quite hidden places, so shoes are a possibility. I find them in my house all the time-

Honestly there's not much to fear from black widows, they're shy and would rather run away than bite you. And a bite won't kill adult humans
astralfields
They only bite if they have no way to retreat, like when they hide in a shoe that you're trying to put on. Give them space and you'll be ok.
